I... well, I know intellectually that Onstad wouldn't do anything permanently bad to Philippe. This doesn't prevent him from doing something temporarily very bad, though, or doing something that should be permanently very bad and then pretend that it never happened. And I worry, nonetheless.

In other notes, I believe the van is a new drawing.

As far as the safety of the characters goes? I don't really care. They're cartoon characters. Pull their arms off -- reattach them backstage. They have eternal life.

Reassuring, or not?

[AlohaDawg]

I'm just praying that Phillippe doesn't wind up driving that van with Todd's license plate frame on it.
Some of the other comments are awesome. The Deadly Stinger on his costume would be awesome.

[Choop]

Todd's van is obviously a 1976-8 Chevy Van, whereas Nice Pete's is presented quite plainly as a 1961 Ford Econoline "Delivery Van."

As has already been stated, it's better to be a friend of Nice Pete's than to be a stranger to Nice Pete. You don't think he kills someone because he knows and dislikes them, do you?

He may only kill people he likes inadvertently. You know, like feeding an otter ice cream.


My heart aches for Phillippe.

[gnpaaron]

Pete's murders are done because they are necessary - isn't this obvious? I don't think those people would have been murdered if they didn't need murdering. Look at Teodor - completely un-murdered.

Come on, we all know the real season for these strips is to continue to show Phillipe off in new outfits. All in building for the "Many Sides Of Phillipe" hardcover in 2004.

I just can't fathom doing anything to the most popular character. I know Onstad likes to be contrary but that would be bad business.

You know Onstad has no mercy and is not a sell out. If he thought it was funny he would totally practice taxidermy on phillipe. and use glitter and sequins. or even make an animated gif of phillipe being sock puppeted by nice pete.

But Phillipe could just be going to the SUPER SECRET ICE CREAM SOCIETY like nice pete said, he seems to be a nice guy. I would get in a van of doom with nice pete if I was five. That would be a good decision because I would get ice cream.

Wow, I completely was unaware of this strip until tonight; at least I don't have to suffer with the cliffhanger as long ...unless the storyline really never finishes.

I am slightly worried; first thoughts were 'uh oh philippe!'
I know nothing too horrible could happen permanently ..beef has been killed a few times and still lives; perhaps philippe could get a net connection, too!

[bluebird_of_unhappiness]

Is Onstad implying that...no....no, there WILL be an ice cream shop, don't worry Philippe.  They don't call him Nice Pete for nothing.

Frames of Phillippe looking away are priceless.

[CortJstr]

Oh sure, Onstad might screw with the characters, or even kill them off in a very temporary way but they bounce back good as new. Sometimes even better.

[Steve Hogan]

I suspect that the Super Secret Ice Cream Parlor is actually the refridgerator of some family nice Pete killed. Hope Phillipe likes Sealtest.

[sjlimmer]

I was just happy to actually see Philippe annoyed with someone.  But then, I liked surly teen Philippe

[ferocious j]

::wonders if this is a reference to Wet Hot American Summer and a "super secret pizza party," in which case Philippe will probably wish he had a bike helmet or something::

[jough]

Hey, FJ, long time no post.

Good call on that reference.

[ferocious j]

I think it'd be kind of funny-cruel (in the same vein as Philippe's unforgettable Xmas present from Lyle) to see Philippe tossed out the side of the van onto an embankment.
